Eufaula Quilt Show

A couple of weeks ago, a friend and I took a road trip to Eufaula, OK to a Quilt show. It is a small town that is a couple of hours from where we live, and we saw a good variety of very pretty quilts and several vendors. Three beautiful quilts were made by one lady for her small grandchildren to be given to them when they graduated high school, as she knew she would not live long enough to give them herself, very touching. There was also an area at the show of quilts that had been donated along with some beautiful antique quilts, that were all for sale with the proceeds going to a charity. They had a tea room that was available for lunch, which we also enjoyed. It was a beautiful day to be out and about, and we had a good time.

Here are a few of my favorites. I personally like scraps and lots of colors.

These were the antique quilts that were for sale. We enjoyed quite a show just watching these quilts being turned.

The small quilt guild that we are in, The Logan County Piecemakers,  will be having our own quilt show in a couple of weeks, so we are always on the lookout for good ideas. 

 

THIS WEEK'S RECIPE

POSOLE

I love to make this, it ranks right up to the top as one of my favorite soups/stews. It makes a lot and freezes well. The original recipe is Ken's Kickin' Posole that I found on Allrecipes, but I have made a few slight changes. One of the ingredients is hominy, which I don't like, but it is perfect in this. 
1 can chiles

1/2 pound bacon, chopped

2 pounds cooked pork loin, chopped. I usually cook this during the day in the crock pot

1 chopped onion

10 cloves minced garlic

2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced

1 tsp dried Mexican oregano

2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 bunch of cilantro, chopped

8 cups chicken stock

1 (14.5 ounce) can mild red enchilada sauce

1 (15 ounce) cans white hominy, rinsed and drained.

shredded cabbage-as much as you like, I use as much as I can until the pot is full

Cook and stir the bacon in a very large pot until it is beginning to crisp, and dip onto a paper towel lined plate.  Stir in the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and begins to turn brown. Stir in the chiles, jalapeno peppers, cilantro and spices and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken stock and enchilada sauce. Stir in the bacon, pork, hominy, and cabbage and cook for about an hour.
